Career
Born in Featherstone, Yorkshire to parents Frederick and Harriet,[2] Bott played for Edlington Colliery Welfare before moving to Football League side Doncaster Rovers in 1927.[3] In his time at Doncaster he scored 33 goals in 120 league and cup games, his last season being the most successful with 17 goals in 28 games including two hat−tricks within three games.[3] His performances brought the attentions of other teams and led to his transfer for a reported "substantial fee" to First Division Huddersfield Town towards the end of the 1930−31 season.[3]
Following a very successful period at Huddersfield, Bott went on to have spells at Newcastle United, QPR, Colchester United and Lancaster Town.[4]
